Comment:

She may be a nice prof but she is completely disorganised and ill prepared. It has been over 5 weeks and we have yet to get a coherent syllabus. She has no direction and she doesn't even know what she is explaining since she's all over the place.

Completely disorganized, no goal or purpose in her teaching. Tests and quizzes are unrelated to lectures, and difficult to study for. She's a very frustrating professor.

What are you people talking about, Prof. Babayan is the best. I wish I could have her for all of my courses. She is an excellent professor, you just need to be willing to ask questions if you dont understand. Not everything is going to be served on a silver platter, its University....sheesh!!!!

Comment:

Prof. Babayan is AWESOME. She is a total sweetheart who is willing to make sure that you get that A. I suggest sitting in the front of the class...you get more out of the lecture that way. She doesnt pick on students for answers. She does however have a different approach to learning, which does take some getting used to!

Comment:

Babayan has been working for too long. You don't learn anything in her classes, and each class is an exact replica of the last. They never change. Nothing is new! She leaps all over the place, always covering things we've memorized years before. It takes her weeks (if not months) to give out grades (even on oral presentations). Beware!

Comment:

NOt to make fun but she needs help! She is truly wacked. She is nice and cares about her students, always willing to help, but she is all over the place, unorganized & you will not learn a thing in her class. One time she started crying about somethin then went around the class and gave every student a hug while we looked at each other like huh?

If it was not for Diane Babayan, I would have transfer to the main campus. She is a kind of professor we are not used to have, but boy o boy, she is fantastic, energatic and cares for her students. What more can you ask?

She's nuts, but cares about her students. If you appear to care about the class, and ask for help, she'll give you a good grade.

Comment:

Classes lacked structure. It was difficult at times to know where we were heading. However, the professor definately cares about the success of her students. Final test was surprising, and not very consistent with the format of the midterm.

Comment:

Has a different style in teaching (i.e. porsche without an engine when conjugating verbs). She often seemed to not know what was coming next in the lecture. Often she was late for class. Despite the qualms I had with her, she was more than willing to help

She took the time to help her students understand grammar concepts that no teacher ever did. She was a great prof...a little "out there" though.
